Nautilus 5711/1A - 1st Patek?
Hi, I'm thinking about getting my first Patek. I'm interested in the Nautilus 5711/1A. I do love the new 5726 and in particular the leather deploymant strap. I spoke to a dealer today who told me that the I couldn't change the bracelet of the 5711 to a leather strap. Is this correct information? I would love to be able to switch between the steel bracelet and a leather strap if possible.
Aside from that can anyone comment on the wearability of the Nautilus? I'm upgrading from my Rolex Daytona which I found to be very comfortable.
Thanks!

The nautilus is an extremely comfortable watch, I also own several rolex daytonas and they feel quite similar. Im not sure about the leather strap change, some brands have stupid ideas where even though you bought the watch you cant do what ever you want....

Dear Coz I own both the watches you mentioned in this post and thought it might of some use to you to know the bracelet cannot be changed. The Nautilus is slim and sits flat on the wrist therefore being a lot more comfortable. My choice of the two would d...

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize it was big deal to change bands even on the Aquanaut. I'm in NY but I don't think I would want to bring it in everytime to do that. I still haven't decided what to do. I visited the Patek boutique this past weekend an...
